What does the name MetaRex stand for?
Why the dinosaur logo?
Also, who doesn’t love a cute, baby dinosaur!For more information look at our Rexy page.
Why is MetaRex needed?
It is lost or corrupted during the production process. Incompatibility with different software applications Difficulties in managing and searching metadata.
How will MetaRex help imporve metadata management?
Interoperability: MetaRex will make metadata interoperable, which means that it will be compatible with different software applications. This will make it easier to share metadata between different systems, and it will also make it easier to access metadata from different sources.Extensibility: MetaRex will be extensible, meaning new metadata formats can be easily added to the framework. This will ensure that MetaRex can support the latest metadata standards, and it will also make it easier to add new metadata fields to the framework.
Our workflows are already set up and we are reciving the metadata we need - why use MetaRex?
The need for richer data sets is growing, and the performance of AI and automated metadata generation tools is constantly improving. MetaRex can allow for seamless swapping out of tools without additional integration costs and time.Who doesn’t love saving some time and money!
Engineering
.zip with a timeline?
Zipping up metadata or putting it in a tarball are common concepts, but associating it with frame accurate video, sample accurate audio, or the timebase of the stepper motors of a lens would have to be invented for these common formats.The MXF standard was designed for the job, has been in production for 20 years and is seen by every consumer on the planet when they go to the cinemas. It seems an obvious candidate, given that putting the zip or the tarbal inside an MXF container is already standardised.
What is the MetaRex Registry?

MetaRex uses the same idea. A magic number - the MetaRex ID - allows software to read specifications, schema and lists of online services to process classes of metadata.You can view the
